Subject: Converter voltage
Posted: 01 Aug 2016 at 9:13pm
I do have a voltage meter installed above the thermostat but that is not how I noticed the problem. We had been dry camping and on day 3 I decide to charge the batteries. When I connected my Honda 2000i it immediately went off line with an overload. I restarted and found I could only charge one battery at a time (the batteries were at 12.4 volts before I started charging). I then checked voltage and found the converter was putting out 15.6 volts weather or not any batteries were connected. There were several additional steps including checks with a muti-meter but you get the picture.
